A trader looks at trucks loaded with Cambodian refugees headed home at the Thai-Cambodian border crossing of Poipet. The refugees fled to Thailand after fighting erupted in July 1997 between forces loyal to "Second Prime Minister" Hun Sen and now-exiled Prince Norodom Ranariddh. UNHCR has been repatriating refugees on a voluntary basis even though the flow of refugees going into Thailand from some areas of Cambodia has not yet stopped [as of November 1997] (October 1997, Poipet border crossing, Cambodia/Thailand).
